Free Music Video 4 Winners of the 2007 Uplifting Minds II Talent Competitions

Los Angeles, CA, January 02, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Young film director/producer Ben Foster will sponsor the 2007 "Uplifting Minds II" Entertainment Conference by offering a free music/demo video for the winners of the conference's national talent competition showcase (vocal, song writing and dance) in Baltimore and Los Angeles. Ben will also serve on the panel of judges for the Baltimore tour dates (April and August). The conference's tour also reaches the Los Angeles area in February, June and October, 2007.

At the age of nine Ben decided to make his first film. Four years later he has eight films to his credit: Tough Love, Kids Patrol and his latest Dreams. Ben won the "Best Student" Film Award in the Philadelphia International Film Festival, was inducted into the "African-American Hall of Fame" and the "Kids Hall of Fame."

At just 11 months-old Ben played actor Ving Rhames' son in the ABC pilot drama Philly Heat. The youngest of five kids, Foster has four siblings, two brother and two sisters.

Ben Foster also has a development deal with Tridestined Films in Los Angeles. So he is certainly on the right track, thanks to his mom/manager Nicole Butler. You can see clips of his films and get more on Ben Foster at www.benfosterfilms.com.

The "Uplifting Minds II" will be celebrating eight years in 2007. Its purpose is to service young talent by developing their skills and knowledge of the business with its seminars and finding them the "hook-up" by showcasing their talent at its competition. Competitors, as a result of showcasing, have gone on to be signed to Def Jam Records, wrote/produced a multi-platinum song for Dru Hill (I Should Be); performed on Broadway, and performed as opening act for such high-profile artists as LL Cool J, Angie Stone, Faith Evans and India.Arie.
